FEB 2016: I'M BACK FOR A NEW START

So, hello and a very belated happy new year! XD

It has been a year since I've blogged (late 2014-2015), and since then I've been through quite a few obstacles.

First, I just want to say, IT'S A NEW YEAR AND I WANT A FRESH START!

Second, I really really REALLY miss blogging. 

If you didn't know already, when I stopped blogging, it was due to me being lazy and then moving to booktube. But I have to admit, although booktube was extremely fun, and the community was amazing, it just wasn't for me at the moment. This is mainly because of the fact that booktube takes a tremendous amount of time, and between juggling filming, editing to actually reading and studying, I have to say, it is exhausting.

When Cassidy Evans scores VIP tickets to a concert, she decides to use them for one carefree night before beginning a summer internship at her father’s Fortune 500 company. But one carefree night turns into a few too many martinis—with two unexpected twists: A steamy encounter with Gage Logan, sexy singer and guitarist, and a tempting job offer from Gage's boss to work at the concert venue she now knows quite intimately.
She definitely can't take the job. Her internship is an opportunity any business major would kill for. But the thought of working with her father, a man furious with grief over a family tragedy that struck six months ago, fills her with dread.
Then there's Gage. Working with him all summer could be hot. Cassidy can't stop flashing back to their night together. Molten kisses. His hands smoothing across the skin of her belly. The weight of his body above her own…
And suddenly the decision about how to spend her summer is much, much harder to make.
